Frequently Asked Questions
How does Lawcadia benefit law firms?
Lawcadia operates as a two-sided platform connecting in-house legal teams with their external counsel. Law firms that are engaged by Lawcadia clients can receive instructions, submit invoices, respond to RFPs and communicate matter updates through the platform. This reduces administrative friction on both sides and keeps all matter-related activity in a single, structured system.
How do law firms receive instructions through Lawcadia?
When an in-house team using Lawcadia instructs a law firm, the brief and relevant matter details are shared through the platform’s secure interface. This ensures that law firms receive structured, complete instructions rather than fragmented information across email threads, and that all communications and documents are linked to the relevant matter from the outset.
How does Lawcadia's RFP process work for law firms?
Law firms invited to participate in a Lawcadia RFP receive a structured brief through the platform and submit their proposals in a standardised format. This allows the in-house client to compare proposals consistently. Once selected, the firm moves directly into the matter and spend management framework, with scope, budget and billing requirements already established.
How do law firms submit invoices through Lawcadia?
Law firms can submit invoices electronically through Lawcadia, including in LEDES format. Invoices are automatically validated against the agreed rates, billing guidelines and matter budget. Compliant invoices progress through the approval workflow without delay, while flagged items are routed for review. This process reduces disputes and provides both parties with a clear record of invoice status.
What data does the law firm have visibility of in Lawcadia?
Law firm access is controlled by the in-house client and limited to the information relevant to their engagement. They can see the matters they are instructed on, the budgets and scope agreed, and the status of their submitted invoices. They do not have access to other matters, internal communications, or confidential data held by the in-house team.
How does Lawcadia help law firms demonstrate performance to their clients?
By providing a structured record of matter delivery, invoice compliance and responsiveness, Lawcadia creates an objective basis on which law firm performance can be assessed. Firms that deliver work accurately, on budget and in line with billing guidelines build a stronger performance record within the platform, which supports their position at panel reviews and in RFP processes.
